Name: Onai Sojino Age: 21 Sex: M Profession: Trader (mostly retired) Location: Densetsu Affiliations: Exam Center, Middle Class Disposition: Determined, clever, hot-tempered Character Background and Description Onai Sojino is attempting to make the jump from the lower class to the upper class. He worked for years as a trader on the ship Shinojetsu, crossing the seas from Densetsu to the neighboring islands, and making decent money in the process, though most of it went towards the ship's captain. When the war broke out, the seas became more lawless, and the captain he worked for became involved in smuggling, which was riskier but brought in much greater profits. It all came to an end one day when a group of pirates caught up with the Shinojetsu, sinking her and killing the captain in the process. Onai managed to escape on a rowboat filled with treasure. Deciding to lay low on land for a while, he used his newly acquired wealth to hire a mentor from the exam center, an old, wise man named Arono Satoru.
It is very rare for members of the lower class to jump to the upper class in only one generation, but Onai hopes to make it happen. The exam center's test is a fast track to a career as a government official, where really good money can be made. The test is designed to be impossible for lower class citizens to pass, but with the help of a mentor, Onai hopes to pass. However, Onai's quick temper makes it difficult for him to grasp some of the more abstract concepts, leading to feelings of animosity towards Arono, who he believes is holding him back. Onai currently lives on his own, not bothering with lower class women since his ultimate goal will be to marry an upper class woman and start a new upper class family.
